AWACS planes may be sent to fly in Chad
U S officials weigh sending AWACS surveillance planes and eight F-15 escorts from Sudan into Chad amid Libyan tensions. Brig. Gen. Cousland says mission not set, orders would come from President Reagan. About 550 U S personnel remain in Khartoum with aircraft including KC-10 tankers and RC-135. White House rejects Libya’s claim of non involvement in Chad conflict. Speakes warns against Libyan expansion and Khadafy’s possible overreach. US aims to preserve regional balance and deter wider aggression.

Senators' re election funds top million early in 1983

Tower leads with 1.6 million cash on hand followed by Johnston 1.2 Bradley 1.1 and Boschwitz 1.01. Reports for the first half of 1983 indicate faster fund raising than before the 1982 election.
